Lycée Albert Schweitzer (Le Raincy)

Lycée Albert Schweitzer is a senior high school/sixth-form college in Le Raincy, Seine-Saint-Denis, France, in the Paris metropolitan area.

History

In 1953 the construction of the campus was assigned to a Mr. Petit.[1] Originally the school was an annex of Lycée Charlemagne of Paris but it became independent in 1956.[2]

Lycée Georges Clemenceau in Villemomble was an annex of this school from 1946 to 1961.[3]

The school building was renovated in 1992. In December 1999 a storm damaged the building's roof; it was repaired in 2002.[1]

As of 2007 students in low income Seine-Saint-Denis communes such as Bondy and Clichy-sous-Bois used the art history programme at Schweitzer to avoid enrolling at their local high schools, such as Lycée Alfred Nobel in Clichy-sous-Bois.[4]
